From The M-Den, the Big Chill jersey, based on the 1948 national champions jersey I presume:
I love this jersey!

I'm torn
I like the concept, but the Wolverine looks more like a ferret. Wish they would have left it off, but then again it wouldn't be a true throwback if it was changed.

Ferocious ferret
While it's true that Wolverine isn't the most indimidating rendition of one, we've just got to embrace it. It was worn by the first, of many, Michigan Hockey National Championship teams!

I was thinking more along the lines of a rabid beaver. I get the throwback and all, but I personally do not care for the jersey. If we beat MSU by 5 goals though, I would be all for putting rabid beavers/ferrets and maize jerseys on all of our sports teams (whilst listening to RAWK music at night).

It'll grow on you
The more you see the not-so-iconic Wolverine, the more you'll love it. Give it time and ruminate on it for a spell.
Or said differently, "Try it Mikey, you'll like it."

I do like the homage to the '47 unis, though.
And it's MAIZE. W00t!

From the press
From the press release:
The University of Michigan hockey team will wear special Adidas game jerseys featuring a retro-inspired design for the "The Big Chill at the Big House," the outdoor hockey game between Michigan and Michigan State that is scheduled for Dec. 11 at Michigan Stadium.
So I'm saying yes. The other great thing this means a maize on green game.

Actually
the '48 version had RED STRIPES running through the shoulder yoke in addition to the maize, blue, and white. Yes, you heard me correctly, and NO, I haven't been sniffing rubber cement: RED STRIPES.
My only guess is that the patriotism in the country was still fervent and even found its way onto the UM hockey sweater, eh.

Those are awesome, would definitely snag one off a clearance rack given a chance. But $90? What am I, made of money? You'd think Arby's would be willing to subsidize it a bit...

Not to mention the adidas replica hockey jerseys are paper thin. They just don't feel like a $90 jersey.

Same goes for the replica
Same goes for the replica Reebok NHL jersey's. I got a Lidstrom one last year and it looked real cheap compared to my old CCM Yzerman jersey. Back in the days they used to make even the replica's in Canada, now they are all made in Indonesia and you can really tell the difference in quality.

I hope they still have them in stock next week. I want to try one out before I buy it, but I'm not in Ann Arbor all weekend.

If it's a gametime jersey
you'll want it big. For sweatshirts/layers/flasks/coats to go under the jersey

jersey for game covered
I already made a deal with my husband that I get to wear his Maize block M jersey over my coat for the game. That's what I wore last year to the Hockey Classic as well. I think I just want this one for wearing the rest of the time.
I totally dig the Wolverine on it. He looks sweet....until he rips your head off.

Thanks for the head's up, Moe's! I might have to get myself an early Christmas present...
And I'm already swimming in a small, I did a dry run this past weekend with my current maize jersey and sweatshirt underneath it, mittens, boots and winter hat. It was GREAT SUCCESS!!

what about helmets?
are they going to stick with the traditional football inspired helmet?
or are the going to do a classic white or blue ( I know the did not wear helmets back in '47)

Hoo boy
*grimace*
I'm generally a fanatic for throwbacks and special unis. I was one of the first in line at College Shoe Repair when U-M reintroduced the script maize jerseys back in '92 (?). I have a throwback Knuble jersey from the '94 GLI (only about three sizes too big -- fits like a dress). And I have a Winter Classic Red Wings jersey, although I agree that the Rbk quality is significantly less than Nike or CCM. Maybe five U-M jerseys in all. I'd probably have more if not for my wife.
But I'm definitely with Brian on this one. Not trying to be Buzz Killington, but these things are garish. I wish the AD had done some focus groups before committing to this (maybe they did?). They're almost laughable. I would love to look at our throwbacks and think, man, those are freaking awesome. But instead, I think the Sparties are going to have a field day. Who knows, maybe they'll grow on me. I hope so.

Arby's logo
The Arby's logo has prevented me from wanting to purchase any big chill items, it is so prominent
